Union Carbide

Here is an old print ad for Union Carbide, the company responsible for the Bhopal tragedy. The tag line goes "A Hand in things to come, Union Carbide". Creepy Indeed!

Taken from a list of other creepy old advertisements here. But this one struck me as downright scary. Is this the price we pay for progress?

Big Phone, Small Phone

Still on the topic of the iPhone, there is no question that this phone is quite large, wide too. I for one wouldn't be too comfortable slipping it into my jeans' pocket.



While competing phones are getting razor thin, ala Razr, Slvr etc. With not enough time to go back to the drawing board, apple decides to use forced perspective and comes up with a innovative solution: While shooting ads, use a model with bigger hands!



Voila!
